Matt's in the Market - Seattle

A visit to Pike Place Market is not complete without dining at Matt's in the Market!  Located across from the Pike Place Fish Market on the second floor, Matt's provides a great overview of the market if you are lucky enough to get a window seat.

  

The menu is short and sweet, featuring well under 10 entrees that change frequently.  You'll also find a similar number of small plates and a few salads. I've been here twice - once in 2012 and again in 2015 and was not disappointed either time.

For an appetizer, check out the small plate of grilled octopus, which featured fingerling potatoes. It is wonderfully seasoned and tender.

A recent entree on the menu was the seared scallops.  What really makes them unique is the addition of chunky diced bacon, black garlic and squid ink.  As you can see, the presentation was superior! 

If you have a chance, try the Market Fish of the Day. It was Salmon on recent Saturday in January. What made it more interesting was the addition of romanesco, a green cauliflower-broccoli like vegetable. Although this picture doesn't do it justice, it is a unique vegetable for sure.  

Matt's is a great place to eat or just linger at the bar with a drink while visiting the market.  When you visit Seattle, carve out a little time for a visit to Matt's!
